Just finished Stray. Yes, I got it because you play as a cat (who was created with great detail), but it also has solid storytelling, world building, and level design.
Just started and completed Ender lilies this week. Combat was very floaty but it was an overall enjoyable metroidvania. Different combat movesets added novelty.
I’m on a break from Cronos: The New Dawn and back into more patient gaming. Inspired by Remedy’s 30th Anniversary I decided it’s time to play the Alan Wake 2 DLCs, so now I’m doing some prep work.
I replayed the Alan Wake 1 DLCs, replayed Alan Wake’s American Nightmare, and I’m about to start a replay of the Control AWE DLC. Then into the Final Draft of AW2 again and finally the DLCs.
I actually quite like American Nightmare. It’s a low budget Xbox Live Marketplace game so you have to take it for what it is, but there are some interesting lore bits in there and I just love Ilkka Villi letting loose in the videos of Mr Scratch.
After a week of Hades 2 deep diving, I’m back in the literal mines of Deep Rock Galactic. Haven’t played in long enough that I can safely wipe out my years old save and start anew, and its still a pretty good experience. Kinda wish there were more Assignments running during the week, but hitting random and helping out folks feels good enough.
Also enjoying Rusty’s Retirement while I’m browsing stuff or watching a stream. Not much to say, its a good chill idle game and I enjoy raising the little crops and building more helper bots.
No More Heroes because why not. I still maintain it’s a little overrated, Suda51 does not seem to have any interest to top it, and I’m not a fan of the busywork between boss fights, but it’s still an arcade-y fun game to play and replay, and I’m happy I can replay it on PC now.
I would’ve enjoyed it a lot more had it been as linear as Furi, minus the walking segments, but it’s alright as is.
Elec Head. It’s a puzzle platformer that exemplifies the best design philosophies of puzzle games. It has only a few mechanics but explores them deeply.
It’s a short game. I finished the core game in only a few hours but there are still collectibles that require clever usage of the mechanics.
I actually got it because it was cheap in a bundle with the dev’s newer game, Öoo, which I tried during a recent Steam Next Fest.
Star Ruler 2. If you choose a map with ~450 systems, it plays more like a space economic strategy game, as opposed to the RTS/4X hybrid of the default map settings.
Twin found a game for us to play, Luma Island Pirates. It’s been going well. We’ve been playing in casual though. If the other modes use energy, I can understand the complaints of it being a grindfest.
We got a pirate pig though so that’s cool.
I’ve been playing Graveyard Keeper by myself because single player. Otherwise we’d play together. I just missed the dlc being on sale, and our credit cards haaate gamebillet, so I got one dlc full price and will wait for the others.
I just finished (rolled the credits) Death Stranding last night after right around 100 hours play time. I wasn’t so sure about it going in but the gameplay loop of delivering packages really hit well with me. I thought the random boss encounters were a bit clunky but luckily they were pretty easy. I’m guessing that was by design since it’s not really a combat game overall. The story is confusing as hell and I’ll probably spend some hours watching YouTube videos trying to understand what happened.
I may end up going back to do more road building and stuff in Death Stranding but I’ll be starting RE Village tonight for my “Spooktober” game. I love the rest of the series and finally picked this one up on a recent sale so I’m excited to get into it.
GTA Online, not sure if I‘d recommend it, but I‘m having fun with friends since I’ve never done the heists before and not having to play in toxic pub lobbies anymore is a boon
Suddenly felt like playing something with friendly fire.
Tried Counterstrike 2, but I lost 5 rounds to bots of the introductory 12 and it let me know I’m not that able anymore.
Then I remembered I had Hell Let Loose and went for that. Yeah, I suck. Can’t see anyone, feels like the foliage is useless to hide me out of sight, I build the wrong things in the wrong places etc.
But it has friendly fire and I’m good at that.

I love how the cat just falls over when they first get vested up. Cause silly cat!
I loved Stray. Played it before I got cats, now I need to replay it.

There is no game: wrong dimension
Void War. It’s as if someone made their own version of FTL and put a coat of Warhammer 40k paint on it. Super fun.
Getting back into Sea of Stars. Just unlocked the graplu, so that’s cool.
